Job description
Urgent Care Certified Veterinary Technician
Pet Stat Animal Urgent Care is looking to add a full time Certified Veterinary Technician to our growing team, now that our privately owned urgent care clinic is open in the Lehigh Valley and we are adding a 2nd clinic in the Stroudsburg area in Spring of 2027.
